Long-eared hedgehog care

Care requirements of long-eared hedgehogs (“LEH”) is quite different than that of your typical African pygmy hedgehog (“APH”), as they are much more active. Some of the differences include:

• More supplemental protein in the diet in addition to the balanced nutrition of high quality cat kibble, such as:

  • Insects, lots of them!

  • Raw ground meat

  • Small whole prey - mice, chicks, etc.

  • Eggs - they love raw quail eggs.

• Larger enclosures. We prefer 10-12 sq ft.

• Lots of free roam time outside of the cage.

• More enrichment. They love to play with interactive cat toys.

• More agile as a climber than APH.

• Typically will not ball up like APH. However, LEH may choose to bite when scare or aggravated, instead.

  • Because of this, we do not recommend LEH as a pet for small children or the novice/timid handler.

• Consistent handling is NECESSARY to keep them tame and less “bitey”. However, they may still bite even with constant handling, as it is just their natural defense mechanism.

• Some LEH may be slightly larger than your average APH, but, like all animals, they come in all shapes and sizes, too.

• Have really long nails - make sure to only clip around the quick.

• Longer average lifespan of 7 years vs. only 3-5 for APH.
